Hi, any suggestions for a custom metal three tank stand? I found over the edge, but freight starts at $500
 
Find some local welders and commission one to make you one and just paint it your self! I would weld you up one but I doubt your local
 
Have you looked at 8020 rails? Welding tank stands is old school now.
 
The gussets and brackets are aluminum, and the screws can be switched out to stainless steel.
 
The hardware of 8020 rails tend to rust and are a pain to clean though. Plus you can use magnetic doors on welded stands.
I’ve thought about it, but wasn’t sure what’s enough to support three 29gallon tanks, and cost.
